How we handle bath repair in Holly Brook
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Holly Brook
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
Landlord and trade work in Holly Brook

Common questions in Holly Brook
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Holly Brook
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holly Brook. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
